Revolutionizing Mobile User Interface

Nokia People First

— May 7, 2008 — Tech
Nokia's People First concept takes three human universals of the way people think about communication – time, lists, and people – to inspire and examine new user interface ideas. People First is part of “Homegrown”, a long term research project that explores more sustainable mobile phone choices.

People First's navigation is shallow with minimum use of metaphors and abstractions (folders, applications, etc...) Your personal history of events in maintained in a singular vertical list settling over time, with new content being added at the top of the list.

One interesting fact about People First is that Nokia is "encouraging personalization, hacking, and entrepreneurial ventures with widgets support, accessible native programming language (as simple as html) and freely available hardware and software specifications."

Check out another design from the Nokia Homegrown project:

Trend Themes
1. People-first Mobile UI - Designing mobile user interface based on human universals of time, lists, and people for a shallow navigation experience presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in mobile UI/UX design.
2. Minimalistic UI Design - Emphasizing minimum use of metaphors and abstractions in mobile user interface design for a more simplistic approach provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in UI design.
3. Personalized Mobile Experience - Encouraging personalization, hacking, and entrepreneurial ventures in mobile software development through accessible native programming language and freely available hardware and software specifications presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in mobile app development.
Industry Implications

3. User Experience/interface Design - Innovative designers can develop new designs for mobile user experiences and interfaces that focus on human universals and minimalistic design choices for a more personalized and user-friendly experience.
